HOW MANY PALLETS FIT ON A 53 FOOT TRAILER? www.cargoes.com
Many first-time shippers and even experienced ones have questions about trailer capacity to transport palletized freight. There’s a lot that can influence this, from truck size and type to pallet size and dimensions. www.cargoes.com
There are two important things to take into account when determining how many pallets can be shipped in a 53ft foot trailer: www.cargoes.com
Are pallets standard sized? Are they higher or wider? Trailers are limited by their width and height space so it is very important to know all pallet dimensions to determine how many they fit on a truck Are pallets stackable? If pallets are stackable and do not exceed the standard height, it is possible to fit one on top of each other to maximize trailer space. www.cargoes.com
Both variables stack ability and size are important to determine how many pallets can be transported on a truck. For instance, if pallets are stackable but are higher than 48 inches, it won’t be possible to stack them due to the trailer height limits. On the contrary, for a standard pallet size that contains delicate goods, it cannot be stacked. www.cargoes.com
If your pallets are standard-sized (48″ x 40″ x 48″) then a 53ft truck can fit 26 to maximum 30 non-stackable pallets and 52 stackable, standard-size pallets. To pack a trailer with 30 pallets, industry standard pallets of 40 inches by 48 inches must be packed in two rows with the wide sides facing the front and back of the trailer. www.cargoes.com
In the current market almost every shipper is looking for ways to save money, gain capacity, but still keep service and efficiency a priority. Most have failed. It’s not because they are not competent or resourceful enough, but rather it’s because they lack the strategic partnerships that can provide these things. CONCLUSION www.cargoes.com
